Parting ways with my prized Rage Against the Machine Morello 2205 JCM 800 Lead Series amp.
This amplifier has new JJ El34 tubes and new JJ preamp tubes and was recently biased.
I tried several tubes, and the JJ's by FAR sounded the best.
This thing rips and screams.
This is also Michael Schenker's preferred amp.
